there was a lot of talk inside the nsc about attacking the iranian revolutionary guard. we've been able to prove they did it but there was no attack. i can get into all the bureaucratic's between dod and state in the nsc that led to that result. that was the beginning of the problem. that was the first point of hezbollah. if you are an iranian leader and you observe this behavior pattern, were not only did we not respond to that against the iranians, we didn't respond against hezbollah and we started taking innocent american citizens, professors, journalists hostage off the streets of beirut. we did the iran-contra deal and try to do a bargain. right through the history of the iranian-american relationships in which we really didn't hold anyone accountable on their end and i think it should be no mystery why they been able to gain the level of influence they have in the middle east today. in beirut, baghdad, damascus, the iranians basically can call the shots. at least on things that matter to them. that's not our fault but our inability to respond to this threat contrib

i worked with him for years at the nsc and we are very lucky to have him here at cfr. the video laid out much of what the initiative is about and i thought i would take a couple of minutes this morning to give broader rationale behind the initiative before introducing our keynote speaker. we are collectively witnessing a remarkable period in world history. 80 years ago the u.s. led an effort to create an international system built on democracy, liberalism and market-based economics accompanied by the advent of technology that spurred on global innovation. now all elements are being questioned. democracy at risk. liberalism is under siege with the rise of authoritarianism. globalization is subject to scrutiny and criticism. this reflects a challenge to u.s. leadership or at least how the leadership has been exercised in the last 80 years. today we are talking about economic will leadership, reimagining american economic leadership but there is an assumption that american leadership matters to the world and to americans and we should pressure test that assumption. some a

., but i also had this morning a meeting at the nsc. the u.s. has committed to assist us to make sure we all have the right metrics. otherwise, we go from the anecdotal into the measurable. as we know, data and our ability to measure is extremely important because it also makes it less political and makes it even more practical. we don't have to argue. if we are firm in the data, the ask is also very clear and the accountability is also important in this. mona: it is very helpful. i would like to draw you out further on different aspects of this paradigm shift you are talking about. but, i want to start by having you articulate in more detail the particular vulnerability that women and children face. you have worked in other conflict zones. we see this across the globe in various conflict zones. we have seen it in the gaza conflict. you noted the number of children, not just orphans, but with no living relative which is devastating. the number of widows and women head of households which conveys its own set of challenges. can you articulate more

i have been chairing specific nsc meetings focused on this since i became prime minister. we have strengthened the nuclear enterprise, not just with funding but with better governance, and we have made it a proper national endeavor. you can expect that we will put the governance in place to ensure the delivery of that. there is a fantastic sro in maddy, who you will know, and who is doing an excellent job. i think it is now getting the attention and focus that it deserves and needs to ensure we can deliver on the task ahead. sir jeremy quin: so it is nsc-led and it flows from there; you have absolutely got the grip at the center. the prime minister: yes, and it has coordinated all the different aspects, whether that is mhclg for barrow, desnz on the civil nuclear side or, obviously, the defense aspects as well. we have brought it all together, and i have spent quite a bit of time on it over the past year. chair: i am tempted to ask what consideration you are giving to putting 2.5% of gdp for defense in the manifesto, like the triple lock. the prime minister: well, i think
